Note: Be sure to keep tension on the tape as the LBA is drawn into the cartridge by using a hex
wrench as shown in Figure 200 on page 266.
5. Notice the following mechanisms:
a. Loader mechanism gear (▌8▐) nearest the front of the drive that actuates the cartridge loader
mechanism
b. Position of the rotator stub (▌3▐).
c. Front loader motor worm gear (▌1▐). Rotating this gear allows the loader mechanism gear (▌8▐)
to turn.
6. Rotate the loader motor worm gear (▌1▐) to turn the loader mechanism gear (▌6▐) counterclockwise.
Continue turning until the rotator stub (▌3▐) loses contact with the lever (▌7▐). This action releases
the LBA leader pin.
7. Rotate the threader motor worm gear (▌4▐) to turn the threader mechanism gear (▌6▐)
counterclockwise. This action moves the LBA out of the cartridge and past the read/write head. Stop
this rotation when the LBA is near the tape guide roller nearest the rear of the drive (▌1▐).
8. Continue rotating the loader motor worm gear (▌1▐) until the rotate stub (▌3▐) is positioned as
shown. Notice that the rotator stub (▌3▐) is nearly aligned with the cartridge loader tray guide
bearing (▌2▐).
9. Remove the cartridge from the cartridge loader tray.
10. Go to “Ending procedure” on page 283.
